The command "pkcon get-packages" is used to get a list of all installed packages on a Linux-based operating system using PackageKit.

PackageKit is a toolkit for managing software packages on various Linux distributions. It provides a unified interface for package management, allowing users to install, update, and remove software packages using a consistent set of commands.

The "pkcon get-packages" command specifically queries the PackageKit database and retrieves information about all the installed packages on the system. This information typically includes the package name, version, and repository from which it was installed.

By executing this command, you can obtain a comprehensive list of installed packages on your Linux system, which can be useful for troubleshooting, tracking dependencies between packages, or simply gaining an overview of the software installed on your system.
